On LancsBMD does it tell you which church the marriage was performed at? I’ve found StaffsBMD so useful as it names churches

Yes, Lancsbmd tells you if it was a church wedding, but iirc, only tells you which mother church holds the records which isn't necessarily the church where the marriage was performed, if that makes sense. Sometimes you can pick up the correct place by using LAN-OPC to cross reference the marriage, which is handy because then you don't need to buy the certificate.

But not if it was a non-conformist marriage?

Oh, I've answered my own question.
These indexes were originally compiled to be used as a finding aid for registrars and therefore may not contain information of use to the family historian. OC |

Yes they do. I recently came across one that named a local, now demolished, baptist church.

Thanks for the answers and ideas.
I didn't try a newspaper, was too tired to think that much. Marg this is the entry Quote:
Yes, it is annoying that there are no images but in this case it can be purchased online through the RO, which is handy, except I don't really want to buy it at the moment. I did think to look at other ancestry trees but haven't got back to it yet. Jr has several assignments and I'm helping him organise his time.

so no doubts about it. Buy cert or hope someone else has posted it online.
This family is so difficult. That isn't even his surname. I don't know if people can't spell it or if the pronunciation makes the spelling change. He did at least live long enough to appear on a census with his wife. It's just as well I enjoy the hunt.

Just checked an no online trees have the certificate sadly.
To give you a laugh there is a professional genealogist researching this family and they are clearly giving him grief too, although he may not realise it. He killed off my 3g grandmother 64 years too early and has failed to find any of her 9 children, although 7 of them were born after her "death". Therefore I am a figment of your imagination.
